Kick out the general as soon as you are reborn

In the evening, the summer breeze is cool

At the gate of the Duke's Mansion, a gorgeous carriage stopped at the door.

When Butler Liu saw the familiar carriage, he hurried forward and said, "This old servant pays his respects to the princess."

Liu Yanyan smiled faintly, "Uncle Liu, please stand up." She raised her delicate hand, opened the carriage curtain, stepped on the ready-made horse stool, and slowly got off the carriage. "Why is Uncle Liu waiting at the door today? He knew I was coming back in advance and was waiting for me!"

Butler Liu said respectfully, "Princess, how can I know when you will come back? I am waiting for you here! You should be back by this time."

Liu Yanyan walked straight into the mansion and said, "Oh, really? Dad has been coming back so late these days! It's already late..."

"The master has been accompanying the emperor in playing chess and riding horses these days, so he came back a little late."

When Liu Yanyan heard this, she nodded slightly and walked towards Cuizhuxuan where she lived.

"Princess, please walk slowly. I will ask the kitchen to make you something you like. What do you want to eat?"

Liu Yanyan raised her eyebrows and said, "Just cook a few ordinary dishes. You go ahead! I can take the people back to Cuizhuxuan by myself."

"Okay, princess. I'll take my leave now and will be back to serve you later."

Yanyan led the group to Cuizhu Pavilion and could still hear the loud voice of housekeeper Liu, "Be careful here, clean it up, don't embarrass me."

Seeing Butler Liu like this, Liu Yanyan couldn't help but chuckle, "You guys follow me, let's go back to Cuizhu Pavilion to rest first."

All the guards responded "yes" in unison.

Liu Yanyan came to Cuizhuxuan and saw the spotless house. Bathed in the sun, it felt warmer and her heart was also wrapped in warmth.

Sitting on the low couch, he took off his heavy official boots, casually put on a pair of shoes embroidered with forsythia, leaned back on the low couch and took a nap, feeling the cool breeze.

The little maidservant next to her brought a few ice buckets and placed them beside her, and gently fanned the princess. She was very careful throughout the process and did not dare to make any unnecessary movements.

Yanyan felt the cool breeze lingering around her and was about to fall asleep in a daze.

A familiar voice came, "Didn't you say Nannan was back? Why is she gone? Where's Nannan?"

"Master, the young lady is probably resting in there! How about I ask the maid to go in and wake her up?"

"No need to let Nannan sleep well, I'll come over after she wakes up."

Yanyan rubbed her eyes and said quickly, "Daddy, I haven't fallen asleep yet! I'll be right out." After that, she hurried out.

Duke Liu looked at Nannan and raised his hand to scratch her nose lovingly. "Why did you think of returning home today? Is the prince not treating you well?"

Yanyan pulled her father to sit down, "Dad, don't let your imagination run wild. I just came back because I missed you. Yanze treats me very well."

Duke Liu looked at Nannan's rosy face and said, "That's good. If you miss daddy, come back and see him often."

Liu Yanyan looked at the maids beside her and said to Butler Liu, "Uncle Liu, take these little maids downstairs to prepare! Daddy has come back from a tiring day, and it's time to prepare for dinner."

Butler Liu said respectfully, "Okay, Princess. I'll prepare it right away." After that, he took the maids and servants in the room away.

Duke Liu looked at Nannan and said with a smile, "Nannan, what's wrong? Didn't you have a good meal today?"

Yanyan said, "Daddy, my daughter is fine. She had a good meal today. I am just worried about you. I heard that the emperor has been asking you to play chess in the palace these days. Isn't this worrying? Did the emperor find out something?"

Duke Liu smiled bitterly, "How could it be! No one else noticed. It's all about the Second Prince. Concubine Li has been making a fuss all the time. She cries every time the Emperor comes back. There's nothing she can do about it, so she asks me to play chess with her every day. My chess skills are not good, and I always lose every day."

Seeing that her father looked like he had a headache, Yanyan stood up, raised her hand, and gently rubbed her father's forehead. "That's good. I thought the emperor was beginning to be afraid of my father. It's good that he's not."

Duke Liu held Nannan's hand and said, "Nannan, don't press it anymore. Let the maid do it for me later. Be careful, your hand will hurt. You have never done this since you were a child. This is something the maid does."

Yanyan then sat down and said, "Daddy, your hands are not made of tofu. Can pressing your forehead hurt your hands?"

Duke Liu looked at Nannan's hand with heartache, "Nannan, you have always been spoiled by your father. How could you have done these things? Don't do it in the future. There are plenty of maids at home. If you don't have enough maids, your father will send you more."

Yanyan nodded gently, "Daddy, I have enough maids, so you don't need to send me any more. I just feel sorry for you, and I'm afraid that you'll have a big headache. By the way, how is things going in Liyang, Daddy?"

Duke Liu pushed the fruit on the table to Nannan's hand and said, "Liyang is too remote. They can't change anything in a short time. They can only say that they have opened a few shops and a girls' school there."

Yanyan frowned slightly. "Even if there is a girls' school over there, they can't afford to go to school! These pens, inkstones, paper and inkstones are not cheap, not to mention the tuition."

Duke Liu shook his head gently. "No money was collected. We just changed your mother's original asylum into a girls' school. Your mother was soft-hearted and opened many asylums. Now that women can take the imperial examinations, we hired some teachers to teach. Whoever passes the exam will be accepted."

Liu Yanyan couldn't help but ask, "Dad, how many of these shelters are there?"

Duke Liu smiled and said, "Your mother is amazing. She has shops and houses all over the country. But she became soft-hearted after traveling so much and seeing so much. She opened shelters in all places except the capital. They took in abandoned girls and taught them some skills so that they could make a living in the future. At that time, girls had a very hard life. If they were not taken in, they would starve to death."

Liu Yanyan's eyes were full of admiration, "Daddy, Mom is so awesome! With so many shelters, it must be very expensive!"

Duke Liu said proudly, "Your mother is very capable and has a great mind for business, but unfortunately her health is not good. Many of the girls from these shelters work in the shop and are very loyal. Your mother has been there for so many years, and there have been very few accidents in the shop."

Liu Yanyan smiled and said, "I'm also thinking of opening a few more girls' schools in other places! Who knew that before I even said anything, Daddy had already done it."

Duke Liu smiled and said, "We are thinking alike. It's just a small matter, just hiring a few more teachers. If they can pass the exam, that's good. If not, they can learn more and live a better life in the future. Alas, I can't close the asylum where your mother left you."

Yanyan said, "That's because Daddy is kind-hearted. If it were someone else, this shelter would have been closed long ago. So many shelters would probably cost a lot of money."

"How can there be so much? It's not like they have big fish or meat. They come out to make money for us. How can we just watch them die?"

Liu Yanyan looked at her father with admiration and said, "Daddy is still the most soft-hearted."
